Youku's "Faint Fire" is about to end, and it is a suspense drama that is rare to open high recently, and when I see the mystery being revealed layer by layer, I have only one thought - "unexpected and reasonable".
The most surprising thing in episode 27 is the cause of Xu Yi's death. With the development of the plot and the revelation of the past, everyone's speculation about the real murderer has been changing, Nanya (played by nursery rhymes), Zhou Luo (played by Zhang Xincheng), Chen Ling...... has been on the list of suspects, but in the end, no one could have imagined that the murderer would be himself.
On the night of the millennium, everything was getting better, Xu Yi and Nanya were about to divorce, Nanya and Chen Ling let go of the past, and Zhou Luo also received a notice of score reduction, as if bad things had to stay in the old century. It's just that some people can't look down on others, Hu Xiu found Xu Yi again, sow discord, and said that Nanya has been very moisturized recently, and there must be men outside, and now she is in a hurry to divorce and buy a house, just to subsidize men outside.
Hearing Hu Xiu's words, Xu Yi instinctively recalled a series of recent events with Nanya, and those photos taken by Nanya on the mountain also came to mind, and suddenly he realized that when he saw Nanya's photos before, and saw Zhou Luo's photos on the bus, there were light spots in the upper right corner, so Nanya really "has a man outside" this time, this person is Zhou Luo!
Xu Yi went crazy directly, first made a move on Nanya, stunned the person on the floor, took a dagger and said that he was going to kill Zhou Luo, and he would take everyone to hell together. As he spoke, Xu Yi turned his head and saw the axe, he changed his weapon excitedly, and while talking crazy things, he slashed several times on the pillar in the house.
Nanya on the ground regained a little strength during this time, she was worried that Xu Yi would really commit murder, so she picked up the replaced dagger and pierced Xu Yi's back. However, the pain stimulated Xu Yi and made him even more excited, he turned around directly, held Nanya's hand with the dagger and stabbed him in the chest, Nanya didn't want to kill, and struggled to get rid of him, just between the two of them, the dagger really pierced Xu Yi's heart.
This scene was dumbfounded, I think no one should have thought of this "real murderer", although everyone has a dispute about who the murderer is, but basically thinks that he killed him, and I can't imagine that Xu Yi is close to suicide! But if you think about it, this is reasonable, Xu Yi has always been personable in front of outsiders, and he is crazy behind his back, whether it is his pathological possessiveness of Nanya, or the ruthlessness of killing Hu Lifan and Liu Changshui, it reflects his crazy criticism, such a person Hu Lai who does not want to die in chaos, so that he really gave his life, it is not surprising at all.
At the end of many suspense dramas, in order to surprise and avoid all suspects, they will forcibly pull a murderer from the sky, but "Faint Fire" completely logically gives the audience a "wow", everything is reasonable, everything is traceable, and the penultimate episode still maintains the standard, which is really rare in suspense dramas in recent years.
The drama can open high and go high, which has a lot to do with its multi-line interspersed and parallel design. The timeline in the play is divided into multiple sections, and the story jumps back and forth in the "past", "not long ago" and "present", but it is run through by the main line of Nanya's murder case, the clues of "now" lead to the past, and the truth of "past" gives new clues, progressing each other and driving all the way to the end. In this process, the mystery appears and solves in an orderly manner, the foreshadowing is reasonably recovered, and the characters are always the same, so that the audience can get a pleasant viewing experience.
Now there is only the last episode of Youku's "Faint Fire", and there are still some mysteries waiting to be solved - what is the relationship between Nanya and Hu Lifan's death? What role did Zhou Luo play in Xu Yi's death? Did Chen Ling do anything on Millennium Eve? There are also many characters in the future, which is also exciting.
